Small live food, such as freshly hatched brine shrimp, microworms, or similar works best. They don't always take dried foods from the start.
I always do regular water changes, with or without fry present. As long as the water is agreed, reasonably temperature matched and you don't turn your tank into a whirlpool during the water change you should have no problems

- If you usually change water weekly or so.. I would continue with that ..but maybe in smaller amounts than normal!!
- If you have not changed any water for a month or two..I would take it very easy with changing anything rapidly!!

My experience is behavioural changes simultaneously with waterchanges!!
Somekind of chemical difference between before/after changing may be the reason!!?? (O2, kH, "salty ions" , hormonal or else....????)
